How can artistic research conjure innovative ways of knowing in uncertain times and compel pluriversal modes of being in unpredictable climes?
This MA Arts and Ecology graduation showcase tests and teases our tolerance for the slippery and the seductive as much as the everyday and the extraordinary, towards exercising our proprioceptive capacities for more-than-human interactions and extending our locative sensibilities across land, sea and sky.
LASALLE’s MA Arts and Ecology Class of 2026 invites us to reflect on human situatedness—our habits and expectations alongside our fears and desires—through the catalytic medium of their respective final projects: seaweed, tree bark and algal blooms.
From ambivalent entanglements with algae to affective responses to critters, and from spectacular strangulations of marine life to an inclusive biodiversity that can make skins crawl, we are encouraged to experience three different worlds, each of which sits between fact and fiction, so that we can practise responding to and reciprocating in strangely familiar and familiarly estranged environments.
Let’s shake ourselves out of our comfort zones to make kin anew, among ourselves and with every more-than-human neighbour.
The personal, after all, is planetary.
